I have a weird Eudora problem that I don't even know quite where to start to solve. I have three Intel Macs, (a MacBook, a Mac Air and a MacBook Pro) all running the latest update of 10.6.8 (including the most recent v.1.1 of the security update.) Eudora 6.2.4 (the last version released) runs flawlessly on two of the machines and crashes consistently when checking mail on the third machine.

I'm at a loss as to how to begin to troubleshoot this issue. Any suggestions? Of course a real solution would also be welcome.

Could you include a full crash log in your question? Just be aware that it is rare but not impossible that the crash log will indicate the problem to someone reading your question.

Do you have something called Application Enhancer installed? A thread I found on macworld.com indicates that you should add Eudora to the Application Enhancer Master Exclude List, if you have it.

(I looked at the crash log and I don't recognize the problem or know how to solve it.) Could you also open /Applications/Utilities/Console.app, try to launch Eudora again, and add any new log entries (by time/datestamp) to your original question?

I don't have Application Enhancer installed. When I relaunch Eudora and try to check mail, I get only the identical log that I just posted (modulo the date and PID). No other messages appear in the console associated with that event.

I just found an article that states Security Update 2012-001 causes problems for Rosetta applications. (You're using Rosetta to run a PPC application on an Intel Mac.) Apple apparently released version 1.1 of the security update 2012-001, on Feb 3 2012. Run Software Update (it's available in the Apple menu) and see if that update is offered to you.
